Canon R5 Mark III & R5s
p.1 #1Canon R5 Mark III & R5s
R5 Mark III is most likely 2 years away and R5s is a camera I have been waiting for 6 years now.
I am still very happy with the original R5 and probably don't need anything more, but if they come out with higher MP count I will shell out the cash.
My wish list:
80+ Megapixels
Top spec viewfinder (9+M dots)
If possible: superfast shooting for intelligent bracketing in post (something similar to iPhone)
What do you want?

As a long-time user of Sony with the 9+M dots I don't find the difference to be so critical over 5.76 M dots.
I think over 80MP becomes a different type of camera (R5s), but a MK III could be close to 60MP.
Best speed and performance in general is more for the R1 or R3 class so no miracles there.
I would expect perhaps a faster sensor readout and better AF is natural.

Thanks for the feedback on the EVF, I have never used 9+M dots viewfinder.
I do wonder if they ever make R5S.

I am holding out also. Dual CF Express Cards and more MP is what I need. I like taking shots of birds and cropping is sometimes necessary. Also waiting for faster 100-400 or 100-500 L lenes.

I want to keep using what I have now and just hope I can keep getting a variety of wildlife subjects in the area where I live.
